Part One Done

I finished the first part of the October Mini Mystery by Laura Perin.  Time to get cracking on the rest!

Residenz Courtyard

 While wandering one evening, we found the Residenz market in its courtyard.  It is small and cute and has a rotating nativity (the thing with the propellers).  We came back during the day for pictures.

Squared

Time to work on the outer edge.  It's getting to be time to do the fun stuff!

Inside Old City Hall Courtyard

Typical seventeenth century architecture on the inside, contrasting with the baroque front of the building.  It was shady and one of the few times you could see blue sky while we were in Munich.




Outlined, Almost

I've got almost the whole outline done on this first half.  The colors look really nice.

Getting A Round

This is part of my Christmas rotation.  It's Christmas Jewel from Mill HIll, so it's certain to be sparkly.  Lots of purple so far, and doesn't look like much except round.

Christmas Crackers Made

 I made these Christmas crackers for an exchange on Crazy Quilting International.  They're stuffed with embroiidery goodies.  Mine in exchange haven't arrived here, but I'm not surprised.  We've gotten no mail since the 14th.  

It seems the real meaning of the twelve days of Christmas is waiting the twelve extra days for your mail.... at least in the foreign service.
